 Horrible in low light indoors January 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
First of all, I am a reporter for a weekly newspaper. This camera travels with me wherever I go. I take both newsy outdoor photos and indoor photos at social functions. It's the latter that this camera really stinks. It is programmed to wait six seconds between flash photos, which, when you are taking photos of the mayor shaking hands with another dignitary, is an eternity. I end up taking an early safety shot then completely missing the real moment. Grrrr! It also is horribly grainy indoors, often to the point of being unuseable.
But the camera isn't without some merits. Outdoors in good sunlight this little camera is fine. In fact, I've taken many good shots with it. The built-in movie mode is also very handy. Both the video and the sound are surprisingly good.
The A530 may be OK for light home use, but it is not for the professional. I'm still impressed with Canon, however, and I'm looking at getting a higher level Canon point-and-shoot digital.
 Worked great... for a little while January 1, 2008
I originally got this camera for a trip to Italy and Greece. And it took AMAZING pictures while I was there. A lot of reviews complain about the quality of pictures or the graininess, but a lot of that can be solved just through browsing the manual and stepping out of the "auto" option.
All was well for a about a year, until my automatic lens cover began malfunctioning. Now, every single time I go to take a picture, I have to remember to flick the half open lens cover with my finger. The camera already has a slow start-up, so this is just the icing on the cake. Figures that the problem comes up after the warranty period is over.
 takes everyday photos and art photos December 28, 2007
I love this camera. It's durable, easy to use, fits in my purse, and does everything I need it to to do. I've even dropped it a few times and it still works fine. In normal daylight, I always use the automatic settings. It takes perfect pictures. For pictures of my artwork, I change a few settings in the P mode, so I can adjust for the light and avoid using the flash. The macro works great and is easy to activate. If anything happened to it, I'd get another one either just like it or a similar model.
Great camera December 11, 2007
Excellent all around camera. It even worked after I left it out in the rain.
Surprisingly amazing! November 11, 2007
This camera starting surprising me the day a bought it. I've had mine for over one year now. The picture quality I experiance with this camera is unmatched.
I would have to say the video quality is good. If you're outdoors and have planty of light you'll be happy with the video. Indoors or lower light situations not so much.
Overall, this is an awesome camera for it's size and price.
